This is my 3rd to last scheduled IVIG treatments before we do blood tests for antibodies again!
This will be my first IVIG using insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM). I feel like the last two weeks have been a success = better blood sugar and less extreme highs and lows!
Now, to answer some of the questions you've been asking:
-No, it is not surgically implanted, yes I move it myself every 3 days.
-Yes needles are required but no I do no poke myself nearly as often as before.
-Yes it helps predict and anticipate my blood sugar, no it does not automatically give me insulin (although it does make suggestions on what I should take and when).
-No the pump isn't water proof so it comes off for a shower or swim, yes the CGM is waterproof!!
-No it doesn't sync with my iPhone but yes the two devices do talk with one another.
Special thanks to my T1D pal, Tara, for the extra/much needed advice!! I still have a long way to go but thank you ALL for the support and kind words.
